I’ve seen reports of GE, Whirlpool (and all its subbrands), Speed Queen, Samsung, Maytag, Frigidaire, and Midea top loaders all getting loud on spin cycle, but NEVER LG. When the top load LG’s do get loud they probably mean a grinding noise rather than a roar. I’m not even sure if LG uses ball...

What’s your favorite modern top load washer (it cannot be any traditional wash design) and it must be a washer made in 2006-present. Is your favorite the VMW, The HydroWave, the newer style GE’s, the stackable GE’s, the Samsung top loads, the LG top loads, the Mideas, or the Frigidaire agitub...

It seems that Kenmore isn’t popular anymore, even if they are sold on Amazon now. It seems that Sears closing really impacted the brand’s popularity. In the 2010s, Kenmore was one of the most popular brands, right next to Maytag and Whirlpool. But, ever since 2020, Kenmores weren’t a common...

Back in the day, a lot of washing machines that weren’t from the big three (GE, Whirlpool, Maytag), used similar parts to Samsungs. The Amanatags did and the older 1990s Amanas. Both had Speed Queen designs. And there are some other brands I can’t recall that used the design. It seemed to be...

I know Samsung makes good electronics and all, but ALL of their appliances suck. There is no good Samsung appliance. Their refrigerators are known for icemaker issues and compressor issues. Their front loaders have major issues with the spider brackets and bearings. Their ovens ahead issues with...

This is probably the most wrong thing I heard someone say about a washing machine, watch it. They have a Whirlpool VMW washer that’s shaking violently and she says “if I remove this silver pan, Will I get the things that have fallen between my drum and washing machine”. The real solution is to...

What I’ve noticed recently is that I’ve NEVER heard an older washer roar during spin cycle, while I hear about newer ones roaring all the time. I’ve never heard a top load washer made BEFORE the 1990s that was roaring. Usually when I hear that it’s loud it’s a vibration, a drain pump sound, or...

My brother wanted to change his 2013 Whirlpool WTW4800XQ4 washer, which he put aftermarket rods in that quickly failed. It also had loud bearings. He has decided to replace it instead of repair. I mean, replacing both suspension rods and a Gearcase is expensive, so it makes sense that he bought...

Some of the modern high-end GE washing machines are exploding during the spin cycle, not just Samsung. It mainly affects the impeller models. I’m even seeing it on the newer Profile units. It’s mainly happening to models such as the GTW720, GTW750, GTW680, GTW810, GTW860, GTW840, etc. The high...

I didn’t know that I had to share another rant on modern Whirlpool washers. I’m also doing it for Samsung. I’m not going to discuss control board issues again since I discussed that plenty of times. But, over the years, Whirlpool has been reducing the RPM’s on their narrow drum style stainless...

I think the 4.2 to 4.3 cu ft VMWs had more or less issues than others, depending on what the issue was. These were less prone to bearing issues, but for most other failures, these were more prone to issues. The older style like in the image was discontinued in 2022 but they were very common, and...

Apparently, on Whirlpool’s newest washers, every part that’s in it is different and no vender sells them, all say the part has been discontinued, and many of the new model numbers, no result shows up. I wouldn’t recommend Whirlpool anymore, everything they make now is junk. Not only is Whirlpool...

I liked Whirlpool for a long time, but the newest washers they make are probably even less reliable than Samsungs (at least the lower end Whirlpools)! They have a major control board issue and it’s way more common than before, I see Reddit threads about it and reviews about this issue all the...

It seems like this model has finally been discontinued by Whirlpool, as the Amana website has it indefinitely out of stock as it was out of stock for a while. How do you feel about this? I believe the NTW4519JW is still active. Other sellers of the item will probably not have it restocked once...

The dancing washer is back at it again! He replaced all four rods about a year ago and he says it has already started to shake again. I asked where did he get the rods and he said Amazon. Model WTW4800XQ4 for his machine. The bearing also seems noisy on this thing but he says it is shaking a...

I’m only making this post again because the original thread was deleted for no reason. I think GE started to go bad in the 1990s when the Model-Ts came out, and then they introduced an even worse system in 2006 which was the HydroWave. Honestly, the newer GE’s seem better than the HydroWaves...

Today, I’m going to be discussing one of the worst washers ever, the top loading Neptune. Extremely rare to find one working these days because most broke down years ago. It had so many mechanical problems and it was notorious for tying clothes into knots. Common failures included the motor...

So, Whirlpool has completely emptied everything with this model and replaced it with “p”, meaning it was likely finally discontinued. This model had massive control board issues in the FW3 model so maybe good thing. But impeller and the random stick versions are still active and those have board...

I didn’t know VMWs exploded, when I saw that title i immediately assumed a Samsung, LG, or a GE but it was a Whirlpool WTW4800XQ4 according to the user, that has shook violently and eventually it just blew up. I’m guessing the suspension rods blew off. They said the machine bowed on the side and...

Not a huge fan of this design, but GE used shipping rods instead of styrofoam or protective film on the control board. This type of design was used on their Model-Ts and HydroWaves, as well as their current stackables. I’m guessing the reason why GE used these in their washers is because they...
